STANTON J. HALL President H. RODGERS HAMILTON Vice President Board of Regents Appointed by the governor and presided over by a chairman elected among them¬ selves, the Board of Regents forms the gov¬ erning body of the State College. Although all business of the college is theoretically controlled by the legislature, the Regents have delegated power to transact business. In periodical meetings, they approve build¬ ing contracts, approve new staff appoint¬ ments and resignations, name new campus buildings (under this category they have been busy during the past five years!) and, in general, manage the business affairs of the college. They represent all areas of the state, from Pullman—to the Okanogan Val¬ ley—to Longview—to Sequim, and all types of business and industrial interests, thus giving a well-rounded perspective to prob¬ lems of the college. The college also has a voice in the management of its affairs, through the person of the president, who acts as secretary ex-officio to the board. Other offices are filled this year by: Stanton J. Hall, Everett pharmacist, who is presi¬ dent; H. Rodgers Hamilton, Okanogan or- chardist, vice president, and Alan Rogers, Ellensburg rancher, treasurer.

Clement French, ex officio secretary of the board; Alan Rogers, Ellens¬ burg, treasurer; Stanton J. Hall, Everett, president of the board; James A. McCluskey, Spokane; John C. Scott, Sequim 26

President French President French is enjoying his leisure time WSC’s new president was officially inaugurated in quiet ceremonies during last June’s commencement exercises. In the same quiet, unassuming manner he has taken over the reins of the ever-widening cam¬ pus, wielding them well for over a year. His broad smile and friendly greet¬ ing have become legend on the campus, his slight southern drawl familiar at all college functions. He opened a new era at the State College when, on the eighth of September, he cut the ribbon officially opening the fountain area of the brand new Wilson Compton Union. Some weeks later he drew praise from former president Wilson Compton as he presided over ceremonies officially naming the Union for his predecessor. On campus and off, Presi¬ dent French has spread goodwill for his college. 25

Alumni Association From its new headquarters in the Wilson Compton Union, the WSC alumni associa¬ tion reaches out to thousands of persons all over the United States and many parts of the world—many of whom belong to their own local “Cougar Clubs.” Eugene G. “Pat” Patterson moved into the office last fall as director of alumni activities. Another new “face” around the organization this year is the newly designed cover of the “Pow- Wow,” official voice of the alumni. Editor Dick Fry presented the revamped periodical to enthusiastic audiences last November. When alumni returned for Homecoming festivities in the fall, they found a new WSC as students and faculty alike gathered for dedication ceremonies of the newly-com¬ pleted Union—a dream of alumni for over two decades. Alumni living in the California Bay area gathered again several weeks later to cheer the Crimson and Gray as it met the Golden Bear of California in Berkeley. As registration at the Pullman school rises steadily—far above long range predictions —alumni leaders plan for an even farther reaching alum program for the future.
